Artist's Statement
in the breathtakingly beautiful Haliburton Highlands
is the inspiration for my work.
The magic of using fluid, water-based mediums provides a means of expressing a sense of harmony with my environment.
Working intuitively, I discover connections
and establish an identity through
my sense of place.
Patterns and symbols emerge
to convey
my profound affinity
to these
life forces.

text: Last year, Gordon blocked the entrance to the gallery's previous space with an inaccessible installation. Now the New York artist fills the gallery walls with paintings, most of them based on banal photographs of blank façades and empty rooms. Though the resulting brown-and-gray studies are precise enough to pass for photographs themselves, a certain mistiness suggests that Gordon's primary interest might be light. In one canvas, a columnar sunbeam floats against a white wall; in another, cars are faintly reflected in glass. But Gordon is no latter-day luminist—his ultimate subject is art's relation to systems of power. That bar of sunlight was photographed in Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum, and two of the façades front the blue-chip Chelsea galleries of Larry Gagosian and Mary Boone.

On 14th November 2013 Alstom unveiled today the first Citadis Compact tram on its manufacturing site at La Rochelle in France, in the presence of Daniel Fontaine Vice President of the Pays d'Aubagne et de l'Etoile metropolitan region and Mayor of Aubagne, along with Ségolène Royal, Regional President of Poitou-Charentes, Jérôme Wallut, Managing Director of Alstom Transport France, and the contemporary artist Hervé Di Rosa.
The Pays d'Aubagne et de l'Etoile region is the first1 to have opted for the Citadis Compact, in the framework of the launch of its tramline network. The contract, signed in October 2011, was for a definitive order of eight trams, with an option on 5 to 10 additional units.
The colourful livery of the Citadis Compact for Aubagne has been conceived by Hervé Di Rosa in collaboration with the Design & Styling department of Alstom. The tramset presented is currently undergoing static and dynamic testing on the Alstom site at La Rochelle. The seven other trams are currently being produced and the first deliveries will occur in early 2014.
Citadis Compact has been developed by Alstom Transport to meet the needs of mobility in intermediate-sized cities. It benefits from Alstom's expertise in tram technology. Between 22 m (72') and 24 m (79') in length, Citadis Compact can accommodate some 130 passengers. With its large windows, air-conditioning and real-time information system, it offers passengers comfort and security.
Equipped with the new Ixège bogie from Alstom, featuring dual suspension and permanent-magnet motors, Citadis Compact is characterised by its reliability and high-performance, and enables cost savings with regard to energy consumption and maintenance.
Citadis Compact features wide circulation corridor to facilitate mobility aboard the tram. It also features double-doors at the front and at the back reducing stop time.
Citadis benefits from Alstom's return on experience from the over 1,700 Citadis trams sold to 43 cities worldwide. They have carried around 6 billion passengers and covered over 500 million km (310 million miles).

London: Archaeologists have unearthed what
they believe are the remains of the first known Stone Age gay man who was buried like a woman some 5,000 years ago.
The skeleton, discovered during an excavation near Prague
in Czech Republic and believed to date back to between 2900
and 2500 BC, was pointing eastwards and surrounded by domestic
jugs -- rituals only previously seen in female graves.
According to the archaeologists, the way he was buried,
it suggests that he was of a different sexual persuasion, the
Daily Mail reported.
During that period, men were traditionally buried lying
on their right side with the head pointing towards the west;
women on their left side with the head facing east.
In this case, the researchers said, the man was on his
left side with his head facing west.
According to them, Stone Age men tended to be interred
with weapons, hammers and flint knives as well as several
portions of food and drink to accompany them to the other
Women would be buried with necklaces made from teeth,
pets, and copper earrings, as well as domestic jugs and an
egg-shaped pot placed near the feet.
And the "gay caveman" was found buried with household
jugs, and no weapons. The archaeologists said they don`t think
it was a mistake or coincidence given the importance attached
to funerals during the period, known as the Corded Ware era
because of the pottery it produced.
"From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake," said Kamila Remisova Vesinova, who led the research.
"Far more likely is that he was a man with a different
sexual orientation, homosexual or transvestite.
"What we see here does not add up to traditional Corded
Ware cultural norms."
According to the researchers, an oval, egg-shaped
container usually associated with female burials was also
found at the feet of the skeleton.
Katerina Semradova, another member of the archaeological
team, said that her colleagues had uncovered an earlier case
dating from the Mesolithic period where a female warrior was
buried as a man.
Siberian shamans, or witch doctors, were also buried in
this way but with richer funeral accessories appropriate to
their elevated position in society, she said.
"This latest discovery was neither of those," she added.
"We believe this is one of the earliest cases of what
could be described as a transvestite or third-gender grave in
the Czech Republic."

State lawmakers who represent the city in Harrisburg, as well as Mayor Bill Peduto, are on board with a plan to put the troubled Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority under state oversight. The bill may have some as a surprise to Peduto, but his spokesperson told The Incline "he welcomes all oversight and assistance for PWSA, including calls for oversight by the PUC." This is why Pittsburgh's nine reps. are in favor of the plan.
What remains of Penn Plaza
Demolition of the remaining building at Penn Plaza is apparently underway, as the city and developer continue mediation over a legal dispute about the controversial East Liberty development. Photos taken Wednesday show crews dismantling an apartment building off Penn Avenue that was once home to low-income Pittsburghers. The Penn Plaza Support and Action Coalition, as well as former residents, plan to protest at noon today at the site.

Sidney Crosby went into Wednesday's NHL Awards with the chance to join an elite list of superstars to win the Hart Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy — NHL MVP and playoff MVP — in the same season.

But he got shut out, losing both the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award — MVP voted by the media and players, respectively — to Edmonton wunderkind Connor McDavid. We ran down what could have been a historic night for Sid, and tried to figure out why he didn't win.

Psalm 2
.. 2:1 Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot a vain thing?
..2:2 The kings of the earth take a stand,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,
2:3 "Let's break their bonds apart,
and cast their cords from us."
2:4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
The Lord will have them in derision.
2:5 Then he will speak to them in his anger,
and terrify them in his wrath:
2:6 "Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion."
2:7 I will tell of the decree.
Yahweh said to me, "You are my son.
Today I have become your father.
2:8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
2:10 Now therefore be wise, you kings.
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
2:11 Serve Yahweh with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
2:12 Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
Psalm 7
A meditation by David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.
7:1 Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you.
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
7:2 lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,
ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
7:3 Yahweh, my God, if I have done this,
if there is iniquity in my hands,
7:4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me
(yes, if I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),
7:5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;
yes, let him tread my life down to the earth,
and lay my glory in the dust.
7:6 Arise, Yahweh, in your anger.
Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries.
Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
7:7 Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.
Rule over them on high.
7:8 Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples.
Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness,
and to my integrity that is in me.
7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous;
their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
7:10 My shield is with God,
who saves the upright in heart.
7:11 God is a righteous judge,
yes, a God who has indignation every day.
7:12 If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword;
he has bent and strung his bow.
7:13 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.
He makes ready his flaming arrows.
7:14 Behold, he travails with iniquity.
Yes, he has conceived mischief,
and brought forth falsehood.
7:15 He has dug a hole,
and has fallen into the pit which he made.
7:16 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.
His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
7:17 I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness,
and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
Psalm 8
Psalm 9
For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.
9:1 I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart.
I will tell of all your marvelous works.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
9:3 When my enemies turn back,
they stumble and perish in your presence.
9:4 For you have maintained my just cause.
You sit on the throne judging righteously.
9:5 You have rebuked the nations.
You have destroyed the wicked.
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
9:6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin.
The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
9:7 But Yahweh reigns forever.
He has prepared his throne for judgment.
9:8 He will judge the world in righteousness.
He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9:9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
a high tower in times of trouble.
9:10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
9:11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion,
and declare among the people what he has done.
9:12 For he who avenges blood remembers them.
He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
9:13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh.
See my affliction by those who hate me,
and lift me up from the gates of death;
9:14 that I may show forth all your praise.
In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.
9:15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made.
In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
9:16 Yahweh has made himself known.
He has executed judgment.
The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.
Meditation. Selah.
9:17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol,
even all the nations that forget God.
9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
9:19 Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail.
Let the nations be judged in your sight.
9:20 Put them in fear, Yahweh.
Let the nations know that they are only men.
Psalm 19
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork.
19:2 Day after day they pour forth speech,
and night after night they display knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth,
their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
19:5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room,
like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
his circuit to its ends;
There is nothing hidden from its heat.
19:7 Yahweh's law is perfect, restoring the soul.
Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
19:8 Yahweh's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.
Yahweh's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever.
Yahweh's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover by them is your servant warned.
In keeping them there is great reward.
19:12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive me from hidden errors.
19:13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I will be upright.
I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
Psalm 22
For the Chief Musician; set to "The Doe of the Morning." A Psalm by David.
22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
22:2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer;
in the night season, and am not silent.
22:3 But you are holy,
you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
22:4 Our fathers trusted in you.
They trusted, and you delivered them.
22:5 They cried to you, and were delivered.
They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
22:6 But I am a worm, and no man;
a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
22:7 All those who see me mock me.
They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
22:8 "He trusts in Yahweh;
let him deliver him.
Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."
22:9 But you brought me out of the womb.
You made me trust at my mother's breasts.
22:10 I was thrown on you from my mother's womb.
You are my God since my mother bore me.
22:11 Don't be far from me, for trouble is near.
For there is none to help.
22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me.
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
22:13 They open their mouths wide against me,
lions tearing prey and roaring.
22:14 I am poured out like water.
All my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax;
it is melted within me.
22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You have brought me into the dust of death.
22:16 For dogs have surrounded me.
A company of evildoers have enclosed me.
They have pierced my hands and feet.
22:17 I can count all of my bones.
They look and stare at me.
22:18 They divide my garments among them.
They cast lots for my clothing.
22:19 But don't be far off, Yahweh.
You are my help: hurry to help me.
22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dog.
22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth!
Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.
22:22 I will declare your name to my brothers.
In the midst of the assembly, I will praise you.
22:23 You who fear Yahweh, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
22:24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted,
Neither has he hidden his face from him;
but when he cried to him, he heard.
22:25 Of you comes my praise in the great assembly.
I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
22:26 The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him.
Let your hearts live forever.
22:27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh.
All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
22:28 For the kingdom is Yahweh's.
He is the ruler over the nations.
22:29 All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship.
All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,
even he who can't keep his soul alive.
22:30 Posterity shall serve him.
Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
22:31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born,
for he has done it.
Psalm 30
A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.
30:1 I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up,
and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
30:2 Yahweh my God, I cried to you,
and you have healed me.
30:3 Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
30:4 Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.
Give thanks to his holy name.
30:5 For his anger is but for a moment.
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night,
but joy comes in the morning.
30:6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I shall never be moved."
30:7 You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;
but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
30:8 I cried to you, Yahweh.
To Yahweh I made supplication:
30:9 "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise you?
Shall it declare your truth?
30:10 Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.
Yahweh, be my helper."
30:11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
30:12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
Psalm 34
By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.*
34:1 I will bless Yahweh at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth.
34:2 My soul shall boast in Yahweh.
The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
34:3 Oh magnify Yahweh with me.
Let us exalt his name together.
34:4 I sought Yahweh, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
34:5 They looked to him, and were radiant.
Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
34:6 This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
34:7 The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him,
and delivers them.
34:8 Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
34:9 Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints,
for there is no lack with those who fear him.
34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,
but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.
34:11 Come, you children, listen to me.
I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
34:12 Who is someone who desires life,
and loves many days, that he may see good?
34:13 Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking lies.
34:14 Depart from evil, and do good.
seek peace, and pursue it.
34:15 Yahweh's eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry.
34:16 Yahweh's face is against those who do evil,
to cut off their memory from the earth.
34:17 The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
34:18 Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart,
and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.
34:20 He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
34:21 Evil shall kill the wicked.
Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
34:22 Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants.
None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
Psalm 45
For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Lilies." A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song.
45:1 My heart overflows with a noble theme.
I recite my verses for the king.
My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
45:2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men.
Grace has anointed your lips,
therefore God has blessed you forever.
45:3 Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one:
your splendor and your majesty.
45:4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.
Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
45:5 Your arrows are sharp.
The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.
45:6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever.
A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
45:7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
45:8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
45:9 Kings' daughters are among your honorable women.
At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
45:10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.
Forget your own people, and also your father's house.
45:11 So the king will desire your beauty,
honor him, for he is your lord.
45:12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift.
The rich among the people entreat your favor.
45:13 The princess inside is all glorious.
Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
45:14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work.
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
45:15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led.
They shall enter into the king's palace.
45:16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers.
You shall make them princes in all the earth.
45:17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.
Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever
Psalm 43
43:1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.
Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
43:2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
43:3 Oh, send out your light and your truth.
Let them lead me.
Let them bring me to your holy hill,
To your tents.
43:4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God, my exceeding joy.
I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
43:5 Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him:
my Savior, my helper, and my God.

We are the Bobcats, mighty mighty Bobcats, everywhere we go, people want to
know, who we are, so we tell them.
Boca Raton High School has been around long enough now that some people
complain it is shabby and obsolete, and should be torn down and rebuilt or
On the other hand, some people remember when Boca High was shiny and
new, and the pride of a small but growing city.
Kathy Chenoweth Huber does. So does Gary Garvin.
The two Class of 1968 graduates have started a "Virtual Reunion" web site at
. While the site is still a work-in-progress with a
projected opening date of July 1, there is plenty of neat stuff already there.
The home page is titled Boca Raton High School Bobcats Alumni The Early
Years: 1966-71, but Bobcats of all ages are encouraged to visit. After a warm
welcome to boomer Bobcats, there are sections on Alumni Yearbooks, a Photo
Album with then-and-now shots, Reunions, Nostalgia City, which shows
former landmarks like University Bowl, Jolly Burger and a Boca before
developer build-out. Other topics are Looking For Friends, Dedications and
Memorials, Alumni Links and a Drop Us a Line appeal.
Garvin, a onetime bassist for Things of Our Generation who is now serving his
29th year in the U.S. Navy Department (currently senior designer in a
multi-media office in Laurel, Maryland), was chagrined to learn in February,
1999 there was no Boca High site on Planet Alumni (
Garvin created a web page and was almost immediately contacted by Kathy
Chenoweth Huber, a musician, graphic designer and marketing professional
who had been trying to contact alumni from her home in Tennessee near
Knoxville. With Chenoweth's help, Garvin began building the site in April of this
year, and continues to actively solicit input.
"If you have old photos, memories, stories- anything about the great times in
Boca, just let us know," says Garvin. "There are already around 130 members
on the Planet Alumni BRHS site, so there is a lot of interest."
While Huber refuses to live in the past, she cherishes her time in Boca.
"If you visit the Planet Alumni site, you'll see there's a lot of ongoing chats
about what it was like growing up in Boca in the 'old days,' says Huber. "One
of our alumni has an 'Africa USA' site. Another has a BRHS Band Alumni site.
Those of us who lived in Boca in the late 50s through the early 70s were so
fortunate. Boca was really a great place to grow up in, and I have very happy
memories of those years.
All the folks who are 'at the reunion' are very enthusiastic about our BRHS
experiences and Boca in general. No matter how far we have roamed (and we
are really scattered), we all have a piece of Boca inside us."
Kathy Chenoweth Huber can be reached directly at

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) of the U.K. announced Wednesday that Mohammed Ammer Ali of Liverpool was found guilty in attempting to acquire ricin toxin over the Internet.
According to the report Ali had attempted to purchase ricin toxin on the Evolution Marketplace, a website found within the portion of the internet that is not indexed known as the "dark web". An FBI agent posed as the seller and the agent later informed the Northwest Counter Terrorism Unit, which led to Ali's arrest.
"Today shows yet again that even in the case of crimes committed in the darkest corners of the internet, criminals can be caught and convicted," head of CPS' Counter Terrorism Division Sue Hemming said.
Ricin toxin is a naturally occurring poison that is fatal in most doses. The toxin invades the cells of the body and prevents them from creating needed proteins which eventually leads to cell death. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) symptoms of poisoning are dependent on the route of entry, either through contact with the skin or eyes, inhalation or ingestion. Contact with skin or eyes will likely cause pain and redness at the area of contact. If inhaled it will cause respiratory distress and would most likely lead to low blood pressure and respiratory failure. If ingested, vomiting and diarrhea are initial symptoms leading to eventual organ failure.
The CDC reports that death can occur between 36 and 72 hours after exposure.

HA NOI (VNS)— The Viet Nam Development Bank (VDB) will reach an average credit growth rate of about 10 per cent per year between now and 2020, according to the bank's medium-term strategies approved late last week by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
Such a growth rate will ensure financial safety and consolidate the sustainability and efficiency of a bank which does not target profits to implement Government policy lending.
Any profit will be used to guarantee the bank's capacity to carry out investment and export lending policies and other tasks assigned by the Government to help fulfill the nation's socio-economic development strategies and plans in different periods.
According to the approved plans, the VDB will build a roadmap to increase its charter capital to VND20 trillion (US$952.38 million) in 2015 and VND30 trillion ($1.43 billion) in 2020, which is the equivalent to 10 per cent of the total State lending for investments and exports.
It will concentrate credits into areas including socio-economic infrastructure, support industries, agriculture and rural areas, education, healthcare, environment protection, green technology and clean and recyclable energy.
The plans will also put a focus onto lending into industries which generate high export values and sectors in need of Government support to ensure international commitments.
The bank will complete credit guarantee services for small and medium-sized enterprises to help them gain capital for production and business activities, while enhancing its financial capacity and fortifying risk management.
Dung urged the VDB to review its lending portfolios, borrowers and their projects so that it can restructure capital sources and assure "reasonable" credit growth, improve credit quality in customer assessing, capital disbursing and debt recovering phases, and seek effective measures to deal with bad debts.
He noted that the bank needed to reduce its bad debt ratio to 7 per cent by 2015, 4-5 per cent by 2020 and below 3 per cent by 2030.
He tasked the VDB with exploring the possibility of building a separate law to apply for policy banks, which are currently allowed to operate in accordance to the Law on State Budget and the Law on Credit Institutions.
The bank was also asked to reach a capital safety ratio of 10 per cent and a total asset value of about VND500 trillion ($23.8 billion) by 2020. — VNS

Destination: Horseshoe Bend, Idaho / Activity: Tenkara fishing / Distance from Boise: 45 minutes
Growing up in a small country town in Idaho, we spent a lot of time outdoors. It has really shaped who we are today, as avid outdoor enthusiasts who love to camp, ski, four-wheel, and get dirty doing anything in between. We just love to be outside.
While visiting home, we took the van up the mountain and stopped to fish for some tiny blue gill fishies. They're not super intelligent so it doesn't take much to snag one, and we always release them back to join the rest of their fishy friends. Nothing like an ego boost than an easy catch!

Counselors, with their extensive knowledge and expertise, can fulfill the gamut of human, community and institutional needs. One type of therapist whose work is incredibly important is that of a family therapist. Experts in the dynamics of family life, these caring professionals assist families in everything from conflict resolution to taking responsibility for problems to achieving better communication among members.
In many ways, the family is the most basic building block of human civilization, regardless of culture, nation or time period. When families are healthy, they yield more stable communities and individuals. When families are distressed or dysfunctional, that stress is felt in the community at large. When therapists invest in the family, they are investing in humanity as a whole. Here is a look at a little of what family therapists do for their clients.
Provide Insight into How a Family Functions family therapist provides invaluable insight into how families, function. This clinical perception assists the family members in therapy as they work to uncover, understand and learn from the specific dynamics that are at work within their own family unit. As Leo Tolstoy famously wrote in the opening pages of "Anna Karenina," "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
By granting an unhappy family acuity into the ways their particular family unit uniquely functions and dysfunctions, a family therapist can set the stage for dynamic change to occur. Through the analysis of general communication patterns, systems of behavior, underlying psychological issues and more, the family therapist provides language and categories for a family to begin to observe its own way of being in the world. I
identifying Dysfunctional Patterns of Behavior When it comes to harmful behavior in a family, it isn't just the individuals' behavior that must be examined and understood, but also the dynamics of the group and the ways these influence one another.
A family therapist must be astute enough to identify and understand the patterns of the family's behavior and the individuals' behavior because while they are cut from the same ill-functioning cloth, they manifest in different ways in different people. In more traditional therapy, behavior modification takes into consideration the individual's psychological needs as being primary. A family therapist must balance the needs and context of multiple individuals and a family unit to improve a person's, and a family's, ability to function.
Diagnosing Mental Illness, a family therapist is still a therapist, and while the dynamics of the family unit are of supreme interest in the course of therapy, mental illness — when it is present in an individual — must be identified, diagnosed and treated. Often, an undiagnosed or misdiagnosed mental illness has led to a family's difficulties.
However, because human relationships, especially intimate ones, are so complex, resolving a mental health issue will not necessarily solve a family's dysfunctional dynamics. Habitual patterns and ways of relating — even when the reasons behind the habits are removed — take time and effort to change. Treating mental illness within a family system requires complicated maneuvering amidst a family to bring about true resolution.
Focusing on Relationship Dynamics Family therapists bring otherwise unheeded attention to relationship dynamics between their patients. From power struggles in a marriage to bullying between siblings, a family therapist will help adults and children see the ways their relationships affect them each as individuals. Knowledge of and attention to everything from coercive conflict to triangulation and defensive mechanisms can greatly transform relationships and the participating individuals. By being a relationship guide and resource, a family therapist helps change systems, and when systems change, people do, too.
Family therapists are an incredible asset in helping us gain more understanding and happiness in our most important human relationships. They can be found in clinics and hospitals, local and state government agencies, private practices, schools and universities, churches and alternative health clinics. Not only does their expertise assist in changing negative or unhelpful family dynamics, but the compassion and empathy required to do the job also provide real modeling and mentoring to those being treated. When trying to be healthier and happier individuals, members of the world's families can greatly benefit from the help of a skilled family therapist. It is true that people and families can change for the better, and family therapists can help them do it.

A number of New Jersey municipalities have passed ordinances restricting where convicted sex offenders may live in town. One such town, Cherry Hill,passed an ordinance banning offenders from living within 2,500 feet of any school, park, religious institution or place where children might gather. In March, a Superior Court Judge invalidated the ordinance, casting a shadow over the future of such ordinances.
Megan's Law requires convicted sexual offenders to register with the authorities in the town in which they live. Failure to do so subjects the offender to criminal penalties. Many New Jersey municipalities have extended Megan's Law by passing ordinances that effectively bar convicted sex offenders from town by restricting where they may live in town. Recently, a Superior Court Judge sitting in Camden County invalidated such an ordinance.
Cherry Hill had passed an ordinance prohibiting offenders from living within 2,500 feet of any school, park, religious institution or similar place where children might gather. The penalties for a violation included imprisonment, community service and fines.
Two Cherry Hill men were prosecuted and convicted in municipal court for violating the ordinance. They appealed to the Superior Court. The Superior Court judge who heard the appeal held that Megan's Law pre-empts the ordinance, and that the ordinance was overly broad. That is, he found that it was an extreme intrusion on the rights of offenders and punished offenders a second time for their crimes.
Howes & Howes certainly understands need to prosecute sexual offenders, and supports the protection of victims and of the public. However, we can meet the needs of public safety rationally and without sending former sexual offenders to the modern equivalent of leper colonies. Many offenders offended deep in the past, have paid their debt to society and have gone on to lead productive lives in their jobs and with their families.
The ruling invalidates the Cherry Hill ordinance at issue. It does not invalidate other ordinances. However, the decision casts doubt on whether other municipalities will be able to enforce similar ordinances. It was a courageous decision.
If you need legal help in matters similar to those described in this document, call Howes & Howes for a prompt, confidential consultation.

Visit to Hartwig's lab at UC Berkeley
For one week, Jan'14 6th-10th, I visited the lab of Prof. J. F. Hartwig at UC Berkeley (US). This short stay was funded with a Seed Grant awarded by the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study. This visit was mainly used to follow the project entitled A Computational Approach to the Rational Design of Hydroamination Catalysts, which is being developed by the PhD student Alexandra Strom. Allie did a PhD exchange in Oslo for a period of 3 months (Aug-Oct'13). This stay was used for training her in the use and application of Computational Chemistry. In my visit to Berkeley, I gave a seminar on the work recently published in ChemComm and I met several PhD students and postdocs working in the same lab, who were interested in using theory to make further progress in their research projects.

Have you ever heard of the Australian Payments Clearing Association (APCA) before? You should have. If you feel like your mode of paying for goods and services is efficient, effective, and safe, then you have these (some) 100 members to thank. This joint group of people from leading financial institutions (major retailers, banks, credit unions, building societies, etc) are responsible for improving the safety, reliability, equity, convenience, and efficiency of your local payments systems. Here are the payment and clearing systems they've placed for your convenience:
Cash (Australian Dolar)
This is probably the most universal way of paying for goods and services in the 21st century. Cash payments, also known as CS5, are settled and cleared according to the procedures and regulations of the APCA Australian Cash Distribution Exchange System or ACDES.
Cheques are also known as CS1 and are also cleared and settled according to the regulations of the APCA. This is probably one of the most popular non-cash mode of payment in Australia (and in a lost of other countries). They can be post-dated, and secure in the sense that only the name bearer of the person it's written to can cash out the amount specified in it.
Direct Entry
In Australia you can also transfer funds between Australian bank accounts. This is called Direct Entry, also known as CS2. It's also regulated by APCA under the Bulk Electronic Clearing System (BECS). You can use this to route payments for setting up monthly bills, pay salaries, transfer funds to your mate's/children's/parents' bank accounts, and even government payments and tax refunds.
If you've ever used a debit or credit card before, then you're pretty familiar with this. The Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale is an electronic way of transferring funds with the use of payment cards like debit and credit cards at payment terminals, located at points of sale. This includes ATM transactions, and are also known as CS3. Just remember to use with caution. The ease of paying what seems to be "virtual money" can get addicting.
High Value Payments
Also known as CS4, High Value payments are designed to transfer large sums of funds in real-time, with the main systems in Australia being:
- Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication Payment Delivery System (SWIFT PDS)
- Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS)
- Financial Transactions Recording and Clearance System (FINTRACS)
- Reserve Bank Information and Transfer System (RITS)
And there you have it, the APCA regulated payment systems in the land down under. Which system to you use often? Do you think one of them needs a little bit of work? Let us knwo in the comments! Remember that Alpha Car Finance accepts cash, cheque, and EFTPOS. Check out our latest deals and drive away happy in a comfortable and reliable car.

text: Wrimel 0 Posted September 7, 2017 My friends and i want to play TBOGT Multiplayer with a Trainer. I downloaded the trainer, put the files in the TBOGT folder and downgraded to 184.108.40.206. Singleplayer works fine and so does the Trainer. But i keep getting the message "You have to be logged into Social Club to play online" message on my phone if i want to play online. I tried leaving the paul.dll as it is. I tried renaming it to paulDISABLED.dll and removing it. But i keep getting the same message. This is weird because my friend, who is on Windows 7 deleted paul.dll and can easily play online with the trainer. Me being on Windows 10, can not. Would appreciate any kind of help. Have a nice day!

Sempre (Sempre, #1)
Haven Antonelli and Carmine DeMarco grew up under vastly different circumstances. Haven, a second-generation slave, was isolated in the middle of the desert, her days full of hard work and terrifying abuse. Carmine, born into a wealthy Mafia family, lived a life of privilege and excess. Now, a twist of fate causes their worlds to collide. Entangled in a web of secrets and lies, they learn that while different on the surface, they have more in common than anyone would think. In a world full of chaos, where money and power rule, Haven and Carmine yearn to break free, but a string of events that began before either of them were born threatens to destroy them instead.
Murder and betrayal are a way of life, and nothing comes without a price-especially not freedom. But how much will they have to sacrifice? Can they escape their pasts? And, most of all, what does it mean to be free?

In this thrilling and sexy follow-up to Sempre, two young lovers struggle to keep their relationship intact after they become deeply enmeshed in the dangerous mafia-run crime ring they once tried to overthrow.
Haven Antonelli and Carmine DeMarco have been through a lot. Haven was taken in by Carmine's father, and with his family's help, she escaped a gruesome fate. However, saving Haven from the dark intentions of a mafia family cost Carmine a steep price: he was forced to swear loyalty to them.
Now, still passionately in love, Carmine and Haven must face the fall-out of Carmine's forced service, as Haven discovers terrifying secrets about the family that enslaved both her and her mother—and why she matters so much in this intricate web of lies.

Houston Burn Accidents and Injuries
Over half a million Americans are treated each year for burn injuries. Many individuals last year were also burns in various accidents that arose in the Houston area. In one recent accident, three fast food workers were injured when a floor caved in and fryer tipped over resulting in the spill of hot grease throughout the location. Because burn injuries are often substantial and can greatly incapacitated an individual, individuals who are burned often greatly require the services of strong legal counsel who know how to fight for the compensation that is deserved. Individuals that was burned or the loved ones of an individual who was burned should also understand some basic information.
Events That Cause Burns
There are a variety of situations that cause burns. Some of these events include automobile accidents, building fires, explosions, appliance fires, severe electrical shock, scalding injuries, or toxic chemical burns. These are only just some of the most common events that cause burns.
Injuries That Are Caused By Burns
Burns affect the skin and the various functions carried out by the skin in performing daily life functions. Other long term effects of burn include impairment of motor skills and scarring. Burn victims suffer physically, emotionally, and financially. Burn victims face years of medical and psychological treatment in addition to lost wages after a serious burn accidents.
Burns are grouped into several categories based on how the burn was caused. The potential causes of burns include chemical burns which are caused by chemical substances, electrical burns which arise from electric current passing through a body, thermal burns which are caused by heat sources like fire or steam, burns caused by cold, and burns caused by radiation.
Burns are also classified by degree or depth. First degree burns damage only the outer layer of an individual's skin. Second degree burns affect both the outer layer of skin and the dermis, which is the second layer of skin. Third degree burns destroy the first and second layer of skin and may also damage the underlying bones, muscles, and tendons.
Texas Law Addressing Burns
Legal actions can be brought against a number of parties who might be liable for a burn injury. Some individuals who might be liable for a burn include a property owner, a supervisor, a driver who caused a collision, or another negligent worker.
Burns result from the negligence of one party due to a malicious act, accident, failure to exercise proper cause, or ignorance about existing safety guidelines. If a court determines that a party was negligent then a burn victim is likely to be awarded compensation for burn injuries and emotional suffering. Compensation can be awarded for emotional damages, property destruction, medical treatment, and lost income. In the most severe burn accidents, punitive damages may be awarded which are damages designed to punish the party that caused the accident.
If you or a loved one has had to endure a burn accident, do not hesitate to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Trump and Macron's first G20 conference — Day 1
July 12, 2017 in history | Tags: 2017, Angela Merkel, Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, France, G20, Germany, history, media, Melania Trump, Mexico, Rex Tillerson, Russia, social media, United States, Vladimir Putin | 1 comment
On July 7 and 8, 2017, Angela Merkel hosted the G20 conference in Hamburg.
I covered the riots and looting yesterday.
Today's post looks at the conference itself — a first for Presidents Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron.
On Thursday, July 6, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump spent the day in Poland. Later that day, he tweeted:
My experience yesterday in Poland was a great one. Thank you to everyone, including the haters, for the great reviews of the speech!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2017
That evening, the Trumps flew to Hamburg, where the US president had meetings before the conference started:
After Poland had a great meeting with Chancellor Merkel and then with PM Shinzō Abe of Japan & President Moon of South Korea.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2017
One wonders if he and Merkel discussed the climate change pact. Only days before — on June 30 — the German chancellor appeared to be backing down because of Trump's rejection of American participation. Breitbart reported that, publicly, Merkel is taking a strong stance, but:
Behind the scenes, however, it would appear that Merkel's negotiating teams have been bending over backwards to tone down the climate action plan and avoid an embarrassing rejection by Donald Trump.
This can be seen by comparing the two draft climate action plans for the summit, one from March and the revised one from May. According to Climate Change News, American negotiators have watered it down considerably.
As for the conference:
I will represent our country well and fight for its interests! Fake News Media will never cover me accurately but who cares! We will #MAGA!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2017
Elsewhere, Trump supporters expressed concern for his safety. Click on the images below for more detail. It is true that the Trumps stayed in a guest house of the German senate:

— /pol/ News Forever (@polNewsForever) July 6, 2017
Day 1 of G20 unfolded.
Trump was ready:
I look forward to all meetings today with world leaders, including my meeting with Vladimir Putin. Much to discuss.#G20Summit #USA🇺🇸
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2017
He was the only leader who refused to wear the hideous G20 lapel pin and wore his American flag pin instead.
He received questions about the Democrats:
Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. Disgraceful!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2017
The group photo piqued people's interest, and not just in the media. Emmanuel Macron weirded out, making a nuisance of himself to stand next to Donald Trump.
Technically, that was the correct place for him to stand. The newest G20 participants are placed at the edges of the photo. More long-serving world leaders are in the centre. However, perhaps Macron should have stayed in the back row. He not only left a gap but disturbed everyone in attempting to get down to the first row:
It did not go unnoticed:
Our intuition is telling us that something doesn't seem right. Why is Emmanuel Macron all over the place? He's being too touchy feely #G20 pic.twitter.com/CXcrRftCkO
— Diamond and Silk® (@DiamondandSilk) July 7, 2017
The same thing happened later that day in the group photo before the concert that evening. Watch Merkel position Trump and Macron:
The Macrons sat next to the Trumps at the concert, too:
The Conservative Treehouse said:
*Note* There is a coordinated effort by global political leftists (control entities within multinationals and political constructs) to physically position Emmanuel Macron next to President Trump at every opportunity. This is a structurally coordinated effort to enlarge the presence of Macron as an oppositional entity to the looming and dominant presence (figurative and literal) of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Trump had a successful day.
He and Russian president Vladimir Putin put a ceasefire in Syria in place:
BREAKING: Trump, Putin allegedly have reached a deal on a Syria ceasefire.
THE ART OF THE DEAL pic.twitter.com/Bmmox1X9G0
— /pol/ News Forever (@polNewsForever) July 7, 2017
Sec. Tillerson: @POTUS and Russian President Putin's meeting was constructive. This is an important relationship. https://t.co/bfs8p22h9w
— Department of State (@StateDept) July 7, 2017
Trade Secretary Stephen Mnuchin said:
We had a very productive dinner last night — Secretary Tillerson, myself, General McMaster — with President Moon Jae-in and Prime Minister Abe and their teams, discussing the importance of what's going on in North Korea and the issues there. And then today we've had, already, several other bilats, and tomorrow we have another six.
The President also participated in a very important session today on trade and an important session on the environment and the economy. So I would just generally say we've had very productive economic meetings. There's been very substantive issues discussed. The North Korea issue has been discussed very significantly, about the escalation in North Korea.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said, in part (same link, emphases mine):
President Trump and President Putin met this afternoon for 2 hours and 15 minutes here on the sidelines of the G20. The two leaders exchanged views on the current nature of the U.S.-Russia relationship and the future of the U.S.-Russia relationship.
They discussed important progress that was made in Syria, and I think all of you have seen some of the news that just broke regarding a de-escalation agreement and memorandum, which was agreed between the United States, Russia and Jordan, for an important area in southwest Syria that affects Jordan's security, but also is a very complicated part of the Syrian battlefield.
This de-escalation area was agreed, it's well-defined, agreements on who will secure this area. A ceasefire has been entered into. And I think this is our first indication of the U.S. and Russia being able to work together in Syria. And as a result of that, we had a very lengthy discussion regarding other areas in Syria that we can continue to work together on to de-escalate the areas and violence once we defeat ISIS, and to work together toward a political process that will secure the future of the Syrian people.
As a result, at the request of President Putin, the United States has appointed — and you've seen, I think, the announcement of Special Representative for Ukraine, Ambassador Kurt Volker. Ambassador Volker will draw on his decades of experience in the U.S. Diplomatic Corps, both as a representative to NATO and also his time as a permanent political appointment.
The two leaders also acknowledged the challenges of cyber threats and interference in the democratic processes of the United States and other countries, and agreed to explore creating a framework around which the two countries can work together to better understand how to deal with these cyber threats, both in terms of how these tools are used to in interfere with the internal affairs of countries, but also how these tools are used to threaten infrastructure, how these tools are used from a terrorism standpoint as well.
Trump also held a meeting with President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico:
President Trump emphasized the strong bilateral relationship that the United States enjoys with Mexico and noted the importance of renegotiating NAFTA to help workers in both countries. President Trump thanked President Peña Nieto for Mexico's partnership on the Central America Conference last month. The leaders also discussed regional challenges, including drug trafficking, illegal migration, and the crisis in Venezuela.
After the day's business concluded, the leaders and their spouses attended the aforementioned concert — then had dinner.
Mrs Trump was seated next to Mr Putin:
Meanwhile, spouses separated at #G20 dinner — @FLOTUS seated next to Putin. Go on … pic.twitter.com/I5kUVFrKgd
— Kate Bennett (@KateBennett_DC) July 7, 2017
The Daily Mail has loads of photos and more on both the concert and the dinner.
Then it was time for some rest:
Summit dinner runs late. Almost midnight as Leaders – including Pres & Mrs Trump – depart for their hotels.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) July 7, 2017

Trump was happy:

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2017
Tomorrow's post discusses Day 2.

This looks like a great book for fractions and percentages. I love Washington! Have a safe trip and enjoy the new adventure in your life!
I think I have this book but we don't teach percentages in 4th. I'm considering previewing it but I'm not sure if it will confuse them? There's so much already to teach in 4th but it seems like it just goes together. What do you think?
Have a safe trip sweet friend! I'm gonna say a prayer for safe travels for y'all!

WASHINGTON — Those of us who have argued that systematic terrorism is a form of warfare, to which the United States must respond, naturally find the retaliatory strike on Libya a necessary and proper step. President Reagan`s rationale is ours: Unless we are prepared to live under permanent siege, there can be no safe haven given those who harbor and sponsor terrorists.
But even as the vast majority of Americans endorse the President`s action, it is important that we not deceive ourselves about the difficulties and dangers in the course Reagan has chosen.

The Witches
Directed by Mauro Bolognini, Vittorio De Sica, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Franco Rossi, & Luchino Visconti
Courtesy of Arrow Academy & MVD Distribution
Original Year of Release: 1967
Blu-ray Release Date: January 30, 2018
When it comes to surrealism, it's hard to top the style and imagination of the 60's. This turbulent decade birthed some of the most iconic films of the century, but it also opened the door to new sociological topics to use in these works. From feminism to racism, many themes were explored and even exploited during this time. But try as they might, not every film succeeded in making the statement it was attempting.
I'm still trying to make up my mind as to whether or not THE WITCHES is one of these successes. This quirky anthology portrays women in a variety of lights; some are subtle but yet a couple are just downright intrusive with what they're trying to convey. Still, regardless of the intended statement, there's no denying the entertainment value THE WITCHES offers. It's one of those films you have to keep watching, just to see where it goes next.
If you are not familiar with THE WITCHES, here is the plot synopsis courtesy of Arrow Academy & MVD Distribution:
In the mid-sixties, famed producer Dino De Laurentiis brought together the talents of five celebrated Italian directors for an anthology film. Their brief was simple: to direct an episode in which Silvana Mangano (Bitter Rice, Ludwig) plays a witch.
Luchino Visconti (Ossessione, Death in Venice) and screenwriter Cesare Zavattini (Bicycle Thieves) open the film with The Witch Burned Alive, about a famous actress and a drunken evening that leads to unpleasant revelations. Civic Sense is a lightly comic interlude from Mauro Bolognini (The Lady of the Camelias) with a dark conclusion, and The Earth as Seen from the Moon sees Italian comedy legend Totò team up with Pier Paolo Pasolini (Theorem) for the first time for a tale of matrimony and a red-headed father and son. Franco Rosso (The Woman in the Painting) concocts a story of revenge in The Sicilian s Wife, while Vittorio De Sica (Shoeshine) casts Clint Eastwood as Mangano s estranged husband in An Evening Like the Others, concluding The Witches with a stunning homage to Italian comic books.
Now, don't misunderstand me: I enjoyed THE WITCHES because it's not typical cinema. But you have to leave any preconceptions you might have about the film's content behind before you watch it. I assumed (incorrectly) that the plot actually dealt with, well, witches, given the title and whatnot. Interestingly, it has nothing to do at all with the occult.
Instead, we get five short films by five different directors that introduce women in a variety of situations: the famous actress hiding away from her adoring public at a ski lodge who discovers she's pregnant; a deaf woman who is approached by a man and his son to be the wife/mother to them both; the daydreaming wife of a dull husband; a woman who is the reason for a serial killer's rage; and a female driver transporting a wounded man to what is supposed to be a hospital. Each short is vastly different from it's siblings, and each provides it's own sense of entertainment.
The films in THE WITCHES are all shot well and look great onscreen. I do not have previous copies of the film to compare, so I'm not sure how much better the quality of the Blu-ray transfer is, but the film looks great regardless. Granted, it's not as crisp as some of the other Arrow HD transfers I've seen, but again, that is probably due to the source material.
If I were forced to pick a favorite out of these shorts, I'd probably have to choose "An Evening Like the Others" because it boasts the cameo of a young (and humorous) Clint Eastwood. Seeing him in a role like this is a welcome surprise, and therefore makes the subject matter of this short much more interesting.
I give THE WITCHES a thumbs up, however the film won't work for everybody. Don't go into it expecting horror or anything of the sort. Instead, look for the social commentaries that each short attempts to portray. If you look beneath the surface of each, you'll find some interesting discussion material.
THE WITCHES is available now.

Definition of disposition
- the disposition of the case
a dog with an excellent disposition
Her disposition was to always think negatively.
He has a disposition toward criminal behavior.
people with a genetic disposition toward a particular disease
A will is a legal document that is used in the disposition of property.
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'disposition.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.
What exactly is someone's disposition? And is it different from a predisposition? A person's disposition is his or her usual mood or attitude. Are you typically pretty happy? You could be described as having a happy—or cheerful, or sunny—disposition. Animals have dispositions too; a dog with a nervous disposition doesn't easily relax into a restful pup curled up at someone's feet. In this use, disposition is a synonym of temperament; both words refer to the complex set of attitudes and inclinations that guide behavior.
Disposition can also mean "tendency" or "inclination," and in such cases it has a surprising synonym: predisposition. A disposition to exaggerate is the same as a predisposition to exaggerate. A disposition toward humility is likewise the same thing as a predisposition toward humility. The fact of being "in advance" that the prefix pre- implies hardly matters when tendency and inclination are concerned, since both concern what is likely to happen in the future.
While phrases like "a disposition to cooperate" are about as common as "a predisposition to cooperate," when the context is medical, predisposition is far more common. Phrases like "a genetic predisposition to nearsightedness" appear much more frequently in published, edited text than similar phrases employing disposition.

Disposition indicates a transfer of ownership of the asset. The asset is sold or relinquished. Disposition can also describe an asset held as collateral on a loan.
